Spritzhenry's Outbox

Yes, Toto - there are. I wrote a blog on 'good do-ers' while you were down here, and I have plenty of colour still. I SAID you should pop up the coast and see the garden for yourself! Too busy drinking 'Exmoor Ale' I suppose! LOL.

Oh IAN!!!!! LOL. Actually, there are some in my island bed already!

That's a very good way of enjoying them indoors - and out! :-))

Crazy woman (me) - I told someone ?? who?? that I'd take photos of the other butterfly antirrhinums, and post them tonight - but the photo of this one was awful - so off I went with a torch!

The things I do for GOY!! LOL.

Thanks. Sbg says it'll work if I pot them up, and keep them over winter - then carry on, and they'll grow tubers eventually!

Oh, and no - I like the seedheads, so I shan't be trying to grow any - do you want a few?

Weellllllll......errrrr......sort of! I thought I'd lost it - but when I asked at the Nursery where I got it, they showed me theirs - the frost had damaged them, so they cut them back - and new growth appeared! Magic!

Thanks, Milky - I just chose the ones I like best!! I might add a few more............................................??

You MUST keep it to rot down for at least 6 months, Sandra - you're spot on - in its 'raw state' it's too strong and does harm plants. I shall dig it in where I'm going to plant my sweet peas, but not until the spring, just before they go in. The roses will get some as well - probably as a mulch. We also add it as it is to the compost bin in a thin layer, occasionally - it's really helpful for making good compost.

Mine isn't too well - Hywel suggested potting it up. So I might well do that! it still has a few flowers, though.

Well - we don't mind, do we Sandra?

Oh! Angie - I've just noticed your Saxifraga behind it! Just like mine....lovely. :-))

Good speech! :-)))

Also - good decision! :-)))

Too true! Now we get fumes, not useful horse droppings.

I loved this photo on your blog - it's a wonderful shape, that flower.

And me!!! :-))

A beautiful sight. :-))

Lots of flowers there!

Wow! Mine finished ages ago - well, a couple of weeks,anyway!

:-))))) xx
